Li Chengfeng didn't want to waste even a day, he wanted to be able to get the UEFA Pro level coach as quickly as possible, but when it came to actual operation, he found that it was difficult. There is also a gap between the two levels of UEFA B and UEFA A between Level 2 and UEFA Pro, of which the UEFA B level coaching qualification assessment requires a certain period of team coaching experience, and the higher level assessment also requires several years of experience in a professional club before applying.

According to statistics, in England, the average time to go from Level 2 to UEFA B is 7 years, let alone higher levels. At such a speed, when he got the UEFA Pro coaching qualification and could become the head coach of a professional football club, he was afraid that he would have died long ago. Li Chengfeng can't wait that long, but the fastest person he knows to upgrade from Level 2 to UEFA A level only took 6 years, which is barely acceptable, but it's still too slow, he needs to be faster, otherwise even if he can wait, the system can't wait.

However, although Li Chengfeng wanted to be faster, the difficulties in reality were much greater than he imagined. The problem is not in the technique, but in the assessment of the requirements for coaching experience. Lee Seung-phong came to England alone, although he had income from the CM world so that he didn't have to worry about life, but with no team experience and no connections, it was difficult for him to get coaching experience for a professional team.

The assessment of Level 2 is relatively simple, but the experience of a professional team is the biggest bottleneck in the subsequent assessment. He is now an intern at the amateur team United London Football Team, although their head coach appreciates his performance and thinks that he is talented enough to become the head coach of a professional team, the only regret is that he is a little older, and regrets that if Li Chengfeng can start studying football coaching in his 20s, then he can become a real head coach now, but now, it will take ten years, "but it's not too late, you will not be 50 years old at that time, A lot of coaches started coaching the Premier League as old men. ”

Of course, Li Chengfeng knows this, Ferguson was 45 years old when he took the reins of Manchester United, and Wenger was 47 years old when he took over Arsenal, but they both started coaching in their 30s, and Guardiola, who achieved the great feat of six crowns at his current age. If you want to become a real head coach, you can't take the usual path, and Lee Seung-peak doesn't want to retire at Ferguson's age, it's too hard.

Since being forced to the CM world by that damn system, I've been living a life like a dog in the past few years, and it's much harder than those top professional coaches. Those top coaches only need to coach, and in addition to coaching in the CM world, they also have to study hard in the real world, and they don't feel that one day or two days are not enough. If it weren't for the system's effect of eliminating physical fatigue, I would have died of overwork. However, even if there is no physical problem, there is no way to be mentally exhausted, Li Chengfeng has been under tremendous pressure, and he just wants to get rid of this life as soon as possible.

Only by becoming a real manager in the real world as soon as possible, coaching a professional team, and earning points twice as fast can he feel at ease, how can he accept that step-by-step route? So what could be faster than having a professional team and going to an internship in the field? As for the money, if you can coach Inter Milan, it will be more than enough to support a Serie C team with a salary alone.

However, Lee Seung-bong and Inter Milan have not yet agreed on a contract, and the disagreement between the two sides is mainly over wages. Inter Milan believe that Lee has no experience in coaching big clubs, and last season's income at Sheffield Wednesday was only £250,000 after tax, and they only made an offer of €1 million after tax. Li Chengfeng does not agree with this, he led a team like Sheffield Wednesday in the first season of the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League in the highly competitive Premier League, and also won the Europa League, and in the second season, he beat Inter Milan in the group stage of the Champions Cup, and eliminated Valencia to enter the top 8. Li Chengfeng put forward an annual salary of 3 million euros after tax, which is only half of the annual salary of Inter Milan to renew Mancini's contract in the real world.

Inter Milan raised the offer to an after-tax salary of 1.5 million euros, but there is still a gap with Lee Seung-bong's psychological needs. Originally, if there was no such thing as the Como team's auction, Li Chengfeng would not have counted too much, what he pursued was victory, points, and let himself live. But now the situation is different, now that Lee Seung-bong has decided to buy Como Football Club and train there for the next few years, in order to become a real professional team coach in the real world as soon as possible, he needs enough money to run this football team. He didn't know how much it would cost to run a football team, so he had to prepare as much as he could.

Seeing that the two sides were at a standstill, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Li Chengfeng proposed a new plan, the salary + bonus model. Lee Seung-bong agreed to a base salary of €1.5 million a year after tax, but demanded a hefty bonus linked to his coaching performance, a prize for winning the Italian league and cup, and an additional bonus for each round after the Champions Cup reached the knockout rounds.

Moratti is very interested in Lee's proposal, and his goal is to regain the glory of the former big international, and if he can win more titles, he is willing to spend a lot of money. The next negotiation process between the two sides is much faster and an agreement is about to be reached.

In the real world, Li Chengfeng has also flown to Milan in Italy for a long time, and after watching an Inter Milan game on the spot, he came to Como, and he wanted to collect more and more detailed information.

Como is a beautiful city, especially famous for the beautiful Lake Como, where many celebrities have bought villas, such as the president of Inter Milan, Moratti, who made many decisions in his villa in Como. It is also the center of silk in Italy and throughout Europe. Plaza San Fedele is an antique market in the center of Como town. The most famous and frequented is Via Vittorio Emanuele (Victoria Street), where silk shops are full of high-quality silk products at cheap prices. Li Chengfeng stayed at the Metropark Hotel in Switzerland, ready to stay for a while to get to know the local environment of Como and the situation of Como Football Club.

The next auction of Como FC is not until February, and Lee Seung-bong is very tight, and in the CM world, the league is not over yet, he has to seize every minute to work, and he still feels that there is not enough time. Li Chengfeng nervously collected all kinds of information in Como, visited relevant people, and explored the possibility of buying Como Club. The feedback from all sides is positive, and Lee Seung-bong will be the only participant in this auction, as long as his qualifications are recognized, he can legally own the club.

In addition, the Como government is not opposed to Li Chengfeng buying the Como club, even if he is a Chinese. This is not the first club bought by Chinese in Italy, Italian giants Inter Milan became the bag of Chinese capital last year, and another giant, AC Milan, is also about to be acquired by Chinese capital. The clubs in Italy's economic crisis are eagerly welcoming the rescue of Chinese capital, and Como is one of them, and the situation is even more dire.

Como FC was relegated from Serie B last season, and their income plummeted, but the expenses were very large, mainly in the player's salary. Although they sold some players, there were still some high-wage players who couldn't handle it. The president of the team persisted for several months, and finally decided to give up, declared the club bankrupt, the club was also regulated by the government, the auction began, the players were transferred, or paid compensation to leave, leaving only some players who have not yet found a way out are still working in the league. Although they are now ranked 6th in the league and still have the hope of promotion through the play-offs, Li Chengfeng knows that this is not possible, and the people's hearts are scattered, and there is still any fighting power.

However, the government's involvement is not without benefits, at least Como's operating costs have been reduced, and the team's salary is now less than 50,000 euros a month. There is no way, now there are only a dozen people left in the team, who can barely play to the extent that their salary level of less than 2,000 euros a month is not enough to pay taxes.

The only problem was that the team's logo and training ground were mortgaged, and the money was used to pay the wages and compensation previously owed to the players, and the Como team could only get them back after paying off this debt. Fortunately, this debt is not much, less than 500,000 euros after deducting the expected income.

After calculating the debt and the auction money, Li Chengfeng needs to spend almost a million euros, but he can get it. Now you can come up with almost 800,000 euros on hand, plus Sheffield Wednesday's Champions League prize money this season, it adds up to almost 1 million euros. But what about the subsequent operating expenses?

Li Chengfeng calculated that unless Inter Milan could advance his salary, he would have to give up. However, there are not many such opportunities, and I don't know when I will have them again. Lee Seung-bong was determined to try and at least convince Inter to agree to pay his €1.5 million base salary before the start of each season.

Moratti quickly agreed to Lee's offer and initialled the contract of intent. Now Li Chengfeng has the bottom in his heart, he knows that the Como team will belong to him, and he only needs to go through the necessary procedures. All Li Chengfeng can do now is wait, waiting for the moment when the dust will settle.
